Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

"Stop standing there at the door, idiot! Come in now!"

Tang Miao saw that the rain curtain that was dispersed by the Exorcist Auspicious Jade was approaching the villa again, so he quickly spoke up to interrupt the report of this artificial idiot.

"We have indeed detected an unknown threat."

Xiaoxiang's golden eyes shrank a few times, and then he ran quickly into the house.

After she entered the room, Tang Miao quickly closed and locked the door, then quickly returned to Shen Qinyin and put his arms around her.

Only in this way can she feel safe.

After calming down a bit, Tang Miao asked nervously, "Qiyin, what happened just now? Was it a physical entity?"

"It should be." Shen Qiyin nodded, her eyes full of vigilance. "The Exorcist Jade has reacted and has had an expelling effect on that thing. Apart from the entity, there should be nothing else."

"But, isn't this daytime?!" Tang Miao's face turned pale with fear. "Why would a physical entity appear during the day?"

"I don't know..." Shen Qiyin smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because of the weather?"

"It's not like we haven't experienced cloudy and rainy days before, and we didn't see any entities appearing then..."

"But we haven't experienced rainstorms like this, have we?"

"Well......"

Shen Qiyin rubbed her cheeks, thinking and analyzing, "My special ability allowed me to barely see the outline of that thing. Its concrete entity looks like a girl made of rainwater, and she is holding an umbrella.

Did you notice that Xiaoxiang wasn't wet just now? It was pouring down like that, but not a single drop of rain got on her.

At first I thought she had evaporated the rainwater, but as you can see, Xiaoxiang was cognitively contaminated and has ceased functioning."

Tang Miao swallowed hard, each word laced with uncontrollable nervousness: "In other words, this rain isn't just regular rain, but... an entity itself?!"

"..."

"Oh my God!"

Seeing that Shen Qiyin didn't deny it, Tang Miao couldn't help but exclaim, "Is the torrential rain that nearly enveloped the entire Yunlan City a physical entity? How terrifying must an entity that can change the weather level be? It must be much more powerful than the green haze, right?"

"No, not necessarily."

Shen Qiyin seemed to have thought of something and quickly shook her head: "I am more inclined to believe that the thunderstorm created the birth of this entity, and this entity reacted on the thunderclouds, making the rainstorm heavier and heavier.

In my 'perception network', the rain representing entities has no track. Compared to natural rain, it is more like a 'sleight of hand' created by entities to catch prey or to judge methods... "

"How is it determined?"

"Well, this is just my guess. I feel that this entity has to meet certain conditions to kill people, and this condition is most likely related to being caught in the rain."

Shen Qiyin analyzed, "You've noticed it too, right? This entity has clearly already 'contaminated' Xiaoxiang, but it hasn't chosen to attack us further.

The Exorcist Auspicious Pattern Jade was only enough to expel the rainwater that had just attached to Xiaoxiang and the rainwater outside the villa, and could not cause any harm to its concrete entity.

I estimate that to completely destroy it, we'll need an exorcist item at least more advanced than the pocket watch that drove away the lurker in the basement that day."

"It doesn't harm us. Could it be related to the Lurker? Just like the Green Haze, there are hostile relationships and mutual fear between entities."

"No, you're familiar with the Lurker's characteristics. As long as we don't go into the basement, it won't have any impact on the outside world, not even causing any pollution. That's why my aunt couldn't detect the nearby cognitive pollution with her psychic vision detector."

After a pause, Shen Qiyin continued, "In other words, that thing doesn't know there's a big guy in our basement. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't even dare to get close to us."

"That Lurker is so powerful..." Tang Miao couldn't help but sigh. "It's clearly a physical entity, yet somehow it became our 'bodyguard'. This is the saying 'A blessing in disguise', right?"

"..."

When Shen Qinyin heard this familiar proverb, her eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This world is very similar to the country of the past, even the culture is the same, including some ancient books are almost the same, so Shen Qiyin always felt that this was the Earth in a parallel universe.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from the released perception network.

Shen Qiyin's expression changed slightly, and she quickly concentrated and raised her hand to signal Tang Miao to be quiet.

Near the edge of the perception network, a high-speed moving object was heading towards the villa.

It's a car.

It was obvious that he was coming towards me with a purpose.

Who could it be? Lin Qiutang?

If she wanted to visit me, she would definitely tell me the specific time in advance.

The sudden arrival of the uninvited guest made Shen Qiyin's heart alarm bells ring. She immediately explained the situation to Tang Miao and asked Xiaoxiang to activate the enemy response mode.

The car stopped in the open space outside the villa gate.

Then, a series of hoarse shouts came through the rain and the door:

"Shen Qiyin!"

"Shen Qiyin, are you there? I'm Zhou Yun!"

"Please open the door, I have something important to tell you!"

"Don't come out after you open the door. Throw me an umbrella, please!"

Shen Qiyin's perception network indeed only detected one living being, and through the cat's eye, she also saw that the person driving outside was Zhou Yun.

"It's Dr. Zhou. There's no threat around. Let her in."

"it is good!"

Tang Miao nodded, walked forward and opened the door. Shen Qiyin opened the two umbrellas with her telekinesis and sent them to the car door.

Seeing that the umbrella blocked the rain tightly, Zhou Yun quickly opened the car door and ran out. With the help of Shen Qinyin, he successfully entered the villa.

"Doctor Zhou, what happened to you?"

Shen Qiyin already had some guesses in her mind, but she still asked, "Did something happen to the survivor base?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yun gasped for breath and took a while to calm down. He replied with a sad expression, "I'm afraid the survivor base over there no longer exists..."

Chapter 60: The Threat to Exterminate Millions of Humans

In the following period of time, Zhou Yun told Shen Qiyin his entire experience.

Shen Qiyin also told the other party her own guess about the girl in the rain. After the two sides exchanged information, Zhou Yun was surprised to find that his experience was almost consistent with Shen Qiyin's analysis.

This girl actually determined the characteristics of this entity so easily?

"It seems obvious now."

Shen Qiyin integrated Zhou Yun's experience with her own, and came up with a relatively complete intelligence:

"First, there's never been a sighting of an entity operating outdoors during the day, but now it appears. At least for now, it appears to be able to move freely outdoors during thunderstorms."

"Secondly, that entity—let's call it 'Rain Girl' for now. Based on the current intelligence, her target detection mechanism is based on people being drenched by rain.

The survivors around Dr. Zhou all seemed to be drenched in rain. Of course, this wasn't the traditional way of being drenched in rain, but rather being covered by the rain curtain of the Rain Girl.

"Third, in addition to being able to operate in daytime thunderstorms, the Rain Girl also has another very important feature, which is the ability to kill through hyperspace.

Just like the Tamper, once you trigger its detection mechanism, it will appear next to you and kill you no matter where you are."

"Fourth, the cognitive pollution caused by the Rain Girl seems to make people see the person they most want to see. She thought this might also be a way for it to find its enemies.

Judging from Dr. Zhou's experience and our own, people will not be killed as soon as they are caught in the rain. Instead, they will first be targeted by the Rain Girl and then killed after a certain period of time.

In other words, during this "safe time", people who get caught in the rain still have a chance to escape the killing of the Rain Girl.

However, due to cognitive pollution, he saw someone he knew, and he became addicted to it, unable to wake up from his state of mental confusion. Finally, the 'safe time' ended, and the Rain Girl went on a killing spree.

Zhou Yun nodded. Although what Shen Qinyin said were just speculations based on the current situation, her thoughts coincided with her own.

The most important thing is that as a qualified person, Shen Qinyin has sensing abilities that ordinary people cannot perceive, and this ability can further support her inference.

Therefore, although these speculations are not completely accurate, they are still valuable as a reference.

"If that's the case..." Tang Miao lowered his head and rubbed his temples. "This entity isn't as invincible as it seems. At least it doesn't kill unconditionally like ordinary entities.

In addition, if our will is strong enough and our mental strength is strong enough to resist its cognitive pollution, then will it be helpless against us?"

"Who knows..." Shen Qiyin shrugged. "But in any case, the stronger the mental strength, the better. Also, before we find out whether the Rain Girl has other characteristics, the best way for ordinary people to avoid her is to try not to go out on rainy days."

She looked up at the dark clouds outside the window that were as thick as lead ink pressing down on the city, and a hint of anxiety appeared in her eyes: "The most terrifying thing about the Rain Girl is that her coverage area is too wide, and she can produce a mutually beneficial and complementary effect with the thunderstorm.

If the heavy rain continues and exceeds the capacity of the city's drainage system, causing flooding, it will be a big problem."

Tang Miao also showed a worried look and said anxiously: "You are right. I was so focused on the entity that I forgot about the problem of the rainstorm..."

"Anyway, I'll contact Lin Qiutang first. I'll tell her about Dr. Zhou's experience and our speculations, and have her relay them to the official authorities.

They can't just leave such a strange entity alone, and if they want to investigate, this information could come in handy."

Hearing the words "official department," Zhou Yun, who had been silent the entire time, widened his eyes. "Official department? Have you contacted anyone from the official organization?"

"Yeah." Shen Qiyin didn't avoid the question and answered, "But I don't recommend you to have any expectations about it. Your previous judgment was correct. The official departments have indeed given up on Fengtai District. Not only Fengtai District, but the entire Yunlan City has almost been abandoned."

"Wait, what do you mean? The entire Yunlan City has been practically abandoned?"

"Doctor Zhou, you should know what I'm talking about..."

Shen Qiyin forced a bitter smile and said the following: "It's not that we were abandoned by the Yunlan City government, but that Yunlan City was abandoned by the government."

"..."

Zhou Yun's face turned pale in an instant, as if all the blood had been drained from it.

She stared at Shen Qinyin with her eyes full of disbelief, as if she was trying hard to confirm that what the other party said was not true.

It’s a pity that Shen Qinyin would not joke with her about such things.

Her lips trembled slightly and she wanted to say something, but found her throat was so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

She subconsciously raised her hands, trying to grab something to support her shaky body, but she only grabbed a handful of air.

"This...how is this possible?"

After a long time, Zhou Yun finally squeezed out a few words with difficulty, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper.

Her legs went weak, and she slumped onto the sofa next to her, rubbing her temples. "How could the authorities...how could they abandon the entire Yunlan City? What about us then?"

"..."

"We've made so much effort to guard this survivor base just to survive and wait for the day of rescue. But now you tell me we've been abandoned?"

Zhou Yun's voice was trembling with tears, and his eyes were full of despair when he looked at Shen Qinyin. His body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Shen Qiyin lowered her head and was silent for a moment before continuing, "I heard that many strategic materials and armed forces in Yunlan City have been transferred away because a more serious disaster has occurred in Jinchuan City, the provincial capital.

Although it is still unclear what the threat is, based on such a "ruthless" decision, it can be inferred that it is definitely not a threat that humans can easily resist.

My sister speculated that if Jinchuan City fell and that thing was released, not only Yunlan City, but the entire province would be at risk of annihilation.

The total population of our province is approximately 64 million, and the population of Jinchuan, the provincial capital alone, exceeds 10 million."

She paused for a moment, then unconsciously lowered her voice and continued, "What kind of threat is it that can kill tens of millions of people? I can't imagine it at all..."

Chapter 61 Official Department

Is this a threat strong enough to destroy an entire province...

After these words were spoken, both Tang Miao and Zhou Yun could not help but shudder.

Tang Miao hugged his shoulders and said with some fear: "After the apocalypse, I received information from the shelter that the most powerful monster humans have ever faced is only level three, and it is as tall as a five-story building.

Although it can only move at night and the sun is still its nemesis, one night is enough for it to destroy most city facilities.

If Jinchuan City really suffered a disaster that was enough to threaten the entire province, would it be a special entity like the Rain Girl, able to move during the day?

"That's all I can guess. Regardless of whether it's a strange beast or a physical entity, it's undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster for humanity."

Shen Qiyin sighed and ended the topic: "Let's talk about this. There is no point in worrying about it here. The most important thing now is to improve our own strength to deal with the invasion of the Rain Girl and other entities. In addition, we also need to pay attention to the Doomsday Cult and the Order Gang.

The Order Gang likes to set ambushes and attacks on official investigation teams. There is no need to explain the Doomsday Faction, as everyone knows what that gang is. However, we need to be wary of their other branches in Yunlan City.

We've already taken down the Fengtai District stronghold, and no one can say for sure whether there are other strongholds elsewhere. At least from the conversation between Zhao Feng and his men, it seems the Doomsday Cult has many affiliated organizations."

When Zhou Yun mentioned the Doomsday Faction, he became furious.

She and Tang Miao were sworn enemies of the Doomsday Cult. Especially as a mother, after she saw her daughter being made into a puppet, she hated the Doomsday Cult to the core.

She lowered her eyelids and analyzed, "Speaking of which, I find it very strange. With the apocalypse approaching, is it really possible to form a sect with a complete organizational structure, clear divisions of labor, and a large number of believers in just half a month?
